She did this to call attention to the appalling condition of the city’s public housing stock — though she headed back to her home at Trump Plaza in New Rochelle, where she lives with her longtime boyfriend and dog, on weekends. But on a recent freezing day earlier this month, as Patton led a horde of cameras and reporters through some of NYCHA’s most dilapidated and unfit apartments, the dismal state of public housing — a tale of peeling lead paint, cracked pipes, and maintenance waiting times often measured in months — was on no one’s mind. Did she regret, the press wanted … [Read more...] about The ‘Chaos and Drama’ of Trump’s Woman in New York
